I've been a bad boy and have been relying on flow switch for cell operation. Want to use the mechanical timer that is not in use as primary now. ChatGPT has given a great starting point but looking for any instruction from the smart folks here.
Putting cell on timer wiring

As far as I know its 120V. Also, talk to me like i'm a 5 year old with electrical stuff if you would please.
Uh,
"As far as I know" is not going to cut it...
Step one is to determine what voltage is being used to power the cell now??
Thanks,
Jim R.

Go ask your parents what SWG you have.

Okay, obviously I didn't do the wiring. It's original from the build. Both pump and control panel are wired into same breaker.

Move the wires to the SWG to timer screws 2 & 4.
Connect screws 1 & 3 to a power source connected to a circuit breaker.

A proper technique to connect multiple wires to a circuit breaker is to wire nut the wires together with a pig tail and connect the pig tail to the CB.

It was not obvious to me who did the wiring.
By control panel, you mean the Aquarite SWG control panel?
For simplicity make sure everything is set to 240 then get the wiring done correctly. Yes, he's referring to the SWG panel. See how this thread is much better than anything AI can do for you?

Thats why I come here. Trying to get all the information before dealing with power.
I really enjoyed this thread with my morning coffee. Thanks all and uhhello please consider (the value)
